NRB Convention Update #2

While JCD was unable to attend the Dallas convention, Jim Daly DID come to accept the award for Radio Talk Show of The Year. Thanks, Jim! And once more, congratgulations to Dr. Dobson and a cast of dozens!

Well, the suite is torn down and will be loaded in Steve's Suburban, and the final banquet will begin minutes from now. We had a host of events and meals with affiliates during the past couple of days. Tom Minnery, Bob Dittmer, Bill Maier and Martha Hadley were here. The Briargate staff was represented capably, Lisa Anderson was here, and we talked with many, many stations about a variety of programs and opportunities.

Today several of us visited the Dallas HQ for Salem Communications. Dr. Maier was on KLTY's morning show, as were the Barretts (from Peyton, CO). I was a guest on this afternoon's Scott Wilder Show (2004 recipient of the NRB Talk Show Award). We met Greg Anderson from SRN (radio network "home" of Hugh Hewitt and Michael Medved).

Throughout the past days I have seen at least 15 former FOF folks. God has used many of them in amazing ways since they "left the fold."

Must go to dinner. Thanks for your prayers. Thanks to all who helped this be a most productive time for FOF. Special thanks to Bill, Roseanne and Adam...for exceptional work!
